WRAP UP

The reason you should select this country would be, well:

1. It is a beautiful country, not only does it have great locations and reasonable traveling to
where you would need to go to film (for example say one day, you need to film in Bristol
England that would be a 160 mile-approximately 2 hours and 28 minute drive then once
you are done can go back to the location in Wales is very easy to do), there would be
reasonable living expenses and access to exquisite mountains, villages,cities, and castles.

2. The best part is the history of Wales and England are so enlightening who wouldn't want to
have this as a film location. You would have something unique to add to your film rather it
be the story and it just fits to what you are looking for or someone watching would either:
a. Recognize the location and know the history of it
b. Make you look into that location and want to visit, to learn more about why that
certain spot in this certain country was chosen.
